Deal of the Day: get your hands on this stylish urban runabout used from less than £9,000

Small electric cars don’t come much more desirable than this cute little number, which has become almost as big a hit as its conventionally powered predecessors. The Fiat 500e is a triumph of retro design, mixing classic and modern styling, but it’s more than just a pretty face. With nippy performance and an appealing second-hand price tag, it’s also a complete bargain.

Remember, you can buy a used car right here on Carwow. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Buy a used Fiat 500e for less than £9,000*

Although a new Fiat 500e starts at just over £25,000, you can save more than £16,000 by choosing a used example on Carwow. For just £8,600, you could drive away in a 2021 example with less than 35,000 miles on the clock. That pays for the smaller 24kWh battery pack, ideal for driving around town, and you get tech including automatic lights and wipers, a digital instrument cluster and air conditioning.

Why should you consider the Fiat 500e?

Taking the incredibly popular Fiat 500 and turning it into a modern electric car was a challenge for Fiat, but the Italian company smashed it. Retaining the petrol-powered car’s cute design and desirable modernity, but adding better aerodynamics and a more futuristic twist has paid dividends, and this compact city car has become yet another hit for Fiat.

Small wonder, when it combines tiny dimensions that make it easy to park and manoeuvre with surprisingly engaging handling that makes it fun on the right road. And there’s a choice of battery sizes to suit those either solely living in towns and cities, or those who occasionally want to go further afield. In fact, the biggest battery allows the 500e to cover almost 200 miles on a charge.

Inside, the 500e’s design follows that of the exterior, with a modern dashboard that includes a digital instrument display, some stylish front seats. Push-button door handles are a cool addition, too. There are issues, including some cramped rear seats and a firm edge to the ride, but overall, this is a great little urban runabout, and one that has substance to back up the style.

Fiat 500e alternatives

Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:

• Honda e: Awesome to look at and fun to drive, but range is decidedly limited.
• Peugeot E-208: Cool exterior is matched by a well-made cabin, but the driving position is odd.
• Vauxhall Corsa Electric: Pretty comfortable and well equipped, but the back seats are cramped.
